Also because Bangladeshi currency is almost impossible to exchange. Bangladeshi travelers need a hard currency to travel on

Yes sir! This harsh punishment will certainly convince anybody tempted to haul large suitcases full of whatever that crime doesn't pay and their lives will be ruined. I can understand how dedicated law enforcement officers must slap heir heads and ask: "WTF??"

Some warehouse guy will be in big trouble! I see no mention of who was actually behind it and doubt we ever will.

In many US states, seat belts in school buses are forbiden by law. I have no idea of the logic applied.

If your dream is to just have the experience of learning to fly a drone and have a good time at it, there are some great, small, 5" very lightweight quads designed for Indore use. I bought one for amusement during Covid lockdowns and had a great time. They are designed to bounce harmlessly off ceilings and walls but fly by all the same principles of larger drones. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i5128747717-s21647746815.html?

Under normal circumstances, If a drone or quad is under 250 grams and does not have an onboard camera, it does not require a license. If it is over 250g and has a camera it requires licensing from two authorities.

Sadly, more often than not, these "drug runners" are stateless hill-tribe teenagers and young men who's total lack of educational or employment opportunities are exploited by the drug gangs. The real drug profiteers just write-off the loss and get another load ready to ship.

They did connect the section running to 2nd Rd next to Rimhad Condo to the new waste line under 2nd Rd. completed last year. Where that waste line terminates is a good question. They are still digging from time to time at that Rimhad site but is seems more dirt management than anything else.

At the core of this issue is the fact that the vast majority of the local residents of this area, mostly condo renters, can not vote. Condo renters can yell and scream all they want but as long as they don't represent a large block of voters, there is no political incentive for local officials to break a sweat flogging this project onward. Local officials only want to look ahead to new projects with fresh money to spend and contracts to award. Politically connected contractors doing the current work suffer no penalty for their slow work. Is there even a final plan? I have never seen a rendering of that the final roadmap will be.

Some nearby Asian nations send seized illegal motorbikes and motorcycles straight to the crusher if fines and penalties are not immediately paid. Not a bad idea. I imagine that would get the attention of rental agents pretty quickly.

Weapons with no local history for criminal gangs.

I may need to drive from Jomtien to Korat city in the near future. Google maps suggests Rt-7 to Rt-304. While that is clearly the faster route it is also traffic and truck intensive. Is Rt-331 to Rt-304 a reasonable alternative? I know longer and twistier but less traffic intensive and more scenic? I won't be in a hurry and may actually make it a two day trip, staying a night along he way.

I wonder what they do with 20,000 tons of vegetative waste such as this...tat's a lot of compost.

Not the best concealment job I've seen

I hope some accountability for the lack of any life-vests on board.
